Said goodbye to a dear friend today. We worked at IBM and she was the epitome of 'professional'. On the personal side, we enjoyed many years of 'bookclub' visiting several restaurants in Fort Wayne and sharing our thoughts on 'the book', family and our love of pets. Say hello to John for me!

Kevin, I'll always remember your Mom very fondly, she was always kind and welcoming when a group of loud stinky boys showed up to hang out and disrupt her plans for the night. Always a smile, always concern for our well being, she put others first. Rest well up there in heaven, there are many who will miss you here.

So sorry for the loss of such a bright light and spiritual lady. She was the essence of strength, beauty and so much class. I admired everything about her and the way she served and dedicated her life to God, her Husband and her children. She will be missed. -Always little Marie
